English is apparently a class with a curriculum specifically designed to get our thought processes out of sleep mode and headed towards more profitable uses. It's a good idea in my opinion. Cardin uses all kinds of eccentric methods to make us express our feelings, beliefs, desires, plights, and so on. Every day she attempts to saturate our minds with ideas and opinions from reliable sources such as YouTube and Ted Talks.

We watched a Ted Talks video on Tuesday from some guy who made a program that scans blogs and finds phrases with "I feel..." in them. For example, "I feel like I'm diagonally parked in a parallel universe." Some of these feeling quotes include pictures and this program makes a collage of them every couple minutes. I thought that perhaps I would make myself an easy target; after all, why shouldn't this guy know what I feel today? I discovered that I can never narrow myself down to one feeling, which makes it a little more difficult. I've decided that after every post I'll include a line or two at the end with my feeling of the day.

Today I feel like a small piece of poetry lost in a world of illiterates English 9 drop-outs who could not care less even if they knew it existed. I feel like an extra short short story in size 5 font on the top shelf of the biggest library in the world that goes unnoticed but deserves to be read by at least one person.
